I remember the town of Lu Zhi in my childhood.

Lu Zhi has always been called "Hall of Five Lakes" and "Running of Six Rivers". "Five Lakes Guild Hall" is a tour guide that faces Lincheng Lake, Wanqing Lake, Dushu Lake and Jinji Lake in the west and Yangcheng Lake in the north. "Liuzechong" means that she has six channels: Wusong River, Qingxiaogang, Pu Jie, Zhangling Port, Dong Tang and Dazhi Port. In Zhizhi, the water is free, the bridges are densely covered, and the streets are lined with water. Every family sleeps by the river, and the town looks quaint and quiet.

Luzhi is located about 20 kilometers east of Suzhou, with Wusong River in the north, Hucheng Lake in the south, beautiful Suzhou Industrial Park in the west and Nangang Town in Kunshan in the east, covering an area of about 68 square kilometers. Luzhi ancient town should have more scale and historical background than Zhouzhuang. Regrettably, the leaders before Luzhi were short-sighted and did not pay special attention to cultural construction and publicity, which made Zhouzhuang more famous than Luzhi ... There are many places of interest, ancient bridges, ancient streets and ancient houses in Luzhi. The original site of "Wansheng Mihang" in Ye Shengtao's masterpiece "Crossing Five Customs and Cutting Six Generals" is in Zhi Zhi. There are outstanding people and talented people here, and the beautiful Jincheng Lake has nurtured the local people. Here, Zhong Ting, a rich and beautiful woman with fish and shrimp, is beautiful ... Lu Zhi was originally named Fuli, named after the "Fuli Hall" in the west of the town. Later, because there is a straight port in the east of the town, which leads to six places, and the water flow is as cool as the word "land", so it was renamed as "Lu Zhi". Lu Zhi has beautiful water and beautiful bridges. On the 5-6 km long river in Guzhen District, there are 72 semi-small bridges across the south of the Yangtze River in various forms. There are porous large stone bridges, single-hole small stone bridges, spacious arch bridges, narrow stone slab bridges, double bridges, sister bridges, key bridges and half-step bridges.

Baosheng Temple in the town is a thousand-year-old temple, which was built in 503 AD and is a key cultural relic protection unit. The half-hall clay sculpture Luohan in the temple was created by the sculptor Yang Huizhi in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a national treasure. Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall has become a patriotic education base in Jiangsu Province.

There are also a large number of historical and cultural landscapes such as Wansheng Mihang, Shenzhai, Water Farm Tools Museum, Xiao Fangfang Performing Arts Hall, Wang Tao Memorial Hall and Unearthed Cultural Relics Museum. Luzhi Watertown costumes are even more praised as the wonders of China's costume culture: wearing a bun, a headscarf, a spliced shirt, trousers, a skirt and embroidered shoes. This is a common dress for rural women in Luzhi, and now it is becoming an important symbol of the characteristic culture of Luzhi water town. Visiting temple fairs on holidays in the city, women in water towns dressed in ethnic costumes strolling in ancient towns, or hitting boxes and rocking sugar boats, all kinds of Buddhist dances set each other off, reflecting the sublimation of women's spiritual level in southern Jiangsu after prosperity, and also achieving a beautiful scenery with unique flavor!

There are 36 towns and villages in Wuxian county surrounded by the beautiful Suzhou town. Qianchefang Town and Lu Zhi Town, which are more than ten minutes' drive from Suzhou, are two famous "backcountry" towns. Now one third of Chefang Town has been merged into Luzhi, and Chefang Town has become a homesickness in our memory!

A few years ago, Chefang Town was abolished and divided into Loufeng Town, Lu Zhi Town and Guoxiang Town. The part merged into Lu Zhi Town is the beautiful water town in southern Jiangsu-Thirteen Villages in Jiangdong.

Once, 36 towns in the suburbs of Suzhou were market towns, and water towns were scattered in every corner of Suzhou, and bright pearls strung together Wuzhong, the land of plenty. Among them, there are four famous ancient towns: Luzhi Ancient Town, which has a long reputation in the East, Mudu Ancient Town, which has been in the south of the Yangtze River for six times, Dongshan Ancient Town, which is famous for its carved buildings near Taihu Lake, and Hushuguan Ancient Town on the Grand Canal in the northwest of Suzhou. The famous Dushu Lake to the west of Wusong River (now a higher education area, composed of dozens of famous schools at home and abroad) is also a large part of the original vehicle workshop town. The villagers in Chefang Town are famous for planting "Eight Immortals of Water", and Chefang is also a handicraft town. People in the town are ingenious and can weave all kinds of Juncus products for export to earn foreign exchange. There used to be thirteen beautiful villages in the east of Zhenjiang (100 natural villages, and thirteen villages were composed of village committees), and they really enjoyed the life like Venice in the East. At that time, the garage only had waterways but no roads, and the shipping terminal was particularly lively. The ship terminal of Tanggongqiao, like the current bus departure station, will send some large ships to Thirteen Villages in Jiangdong, which can accommodate about 100 passengers. My father also sailed for more than ten years. On holidays, there are more boats on the river. It takes more than an hour to get to Liudian Bridge by boat from the wharf, and there are flights to Yaosheng and Shengde Zantou villages.

In fact, ferries existed before ships, but now many new generation garage people have never seen them. Nowadays, the traffic in thirteen villages in Jiangdong is more and more convenient. It takes ten minutes to get to the city, and it takes more than 1 hour to get to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. But sometimes, I still miss the leisurely days when I used to rock the boat.

Wusong River, called "Jiangdong" in ancient times, is said to be a struggle between Chu and Han, and Xiang Yu committed suicide on the banks of Wujiang River after his defeat. Because he thought he was invincible in the world, he refused to accept it until he died, and he was ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, so he became the Wusong River God. Short was the first American pilot who died for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China. He was killed over the garage (Pot Bottom Beach in the south of Dushu Lake). Today's Short Martyrs Memorial Hall was built in his memory.

With the expansion of Suzhou Industrial Park's modernization process, Chefang Town has been demolished and sold, but the beautiful thirteen villages in Jiangdong are under the jurisdiction of Lu Zhi Town. In order to remember the once eternal Chefang Town, a standard complete primary school, kindergarten and office were built in Qiangang Village, the 13th village in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong 13 villages are just the abbreviations of village committees, among which 100 natural villages are distributed along the Wusong River and on the bank of Hu Cheng Lake, which is nearly 40 square kilometers. There are nearly 15 natural villages in Qiangang Village Committee alone. The neighboring Hubang Village (six natural villages) is close to Hu Cheng Ecological Park, and the village is very beautiful. "Eight Immortals" are endless, and aquatic vegetables are planted ecologically. The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant ... Jinshan Temple, built in the Yuan Dynasty, is famous far and near. In the south of Liudianqiao Village, Dayao Village, every important festival, incense continues, and Wuxi is far away. Unfortunately, it was circled by the unhealthy trend of "relying on mountains to eat mountains" by the local village Committee. It costs fifteen yuan to enter the temple, alas! ..... Less than one kilometer to the south, Dayao Village near Hucheng Lake has a Daixueyuan Bridge built in the Song Dynasty. It is said that there are more than 100 Buddhist temples in the ancient Dayaodun, and there are amazing sculptures in the buildings. Everything here seems to be telling the history of 1000 years and the once strong incense.

There are two kneeling marks on the stone road of this learning bridge. When I was a child, I heard my grandmother talk about the legend of Hu Chenghu ... It is said that the area of Hu Chenghu is 18 miles horizontally and 24 miles vertically, which is 1 1 times that of Jinji Lake in Suzhou Park. It used to be a prosperous Tokyo city in ancient times (according to archaeological identification, it is indeed one of the birthplaces of Liangzhu culture in southern Jiangsu, with a large number of wells and precious stone axes and silver plates of Luzhi Baosheng Temple as evidence), and then it sank in a flood. At first, a fairy in the sky sent a fairy to pick a pile of mud to fill Hu Cheng Lake. When he left, he told him never to talk to folk women, or he would fail. The fairy picked a load of mud and came to the rolling lake. As a result, he met a beautiful Jiangnan woman Sannianzi who sold flowers. Because the flower girl is so beautiful, the fairy was moved. The result can be imagined ... the immortal fell down with a pile of fairy soil and wanted to fill the lake. One end turned into a huge "Wang Dunshan", four ginkgo trees were folded up, and he plunged into Lu Zhi Town on the east bank of Hucheng Lake 10 km away. The flood all over the sky surged ashore again, and the fairy fled desperately with the beautiful flower seller Sannianzi, and fled to Daixueguan Bridge in Dayao Village in one breath. Sannianzi saw that she couldn't escape, so she knelt on the bridge and prayed for the gods. As a result, the flood really receded, so this place is called "Da Rao", the origin of Dayao ... Yaocheng site, also known as "Hucheng Lake Ancient Site", used to be the residence of the King of Wu, and later the King of Yue also lived here.

Because it is close to Dahucheng Lake and Wusong River, it looks like a natural oxygen bar, and the water here is very clear, especially in factories and chemical plants. ...

Nowadays, Jiangdong has become a hot spot. There will be a vegetable basket project in Suzhou-South Ring Bridge wholesale market, fruit and vegetable wholesale market and refined food market, and a logistics bonded warehouse under examination and approval, covering an area of 1000 mu. The completed "Workshop Garden Phase I" relocation house has been put into use immediately, and the second phase is under construction.

With the expansion of urban modernization, the last "pure land" will surely reappear in distant memory!

I want to use this article to describe my hometown-the beautiful thirteen villages in Jiangdong!
